Good indoor air quality (IAQ) is a necessity of modern building design and
operations so that they provide a healthy and productive indoor environment.
IAQ monitoring and management processes involve the application of
technologies that can provide greater and more effective ventilation for
buildings. These processes and technologies also encompass the measurement and
verification of ventilation and moisture management performance to document
that healthy conditions are achieved and maintained over the life of the
building.

Various technologies are used for IAQ monitoring and management, including CO2
sensors, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV), energy recovery ventilation
(ERV), dedicated outdoor air systems (DOASs), ultraviolet germicidal
irradiation (UVGI), displacement ventilation (DV), and underfloor air
distribution (UFAD). These technologies are being adopted because they
typically improve building operations while reducing energy use and improving
IAQ. Due to new standards and regulations, as well as a rebound of the global
economy, some of these technologies are being accepted for use in more
buildings. However, this adoption is still limited by the rate of the global
economic recovery. In addition, all of the players involved, including
architects, engineers, and building owners, must be willing to change the way
buildings have been built in the past. Navigant Research forecasts that global
revenue for IAQ monitoring and management technologies will increase from $3.1
billion in 2013 to $5.6 billion in 2020.

This Navigant Research report analyzes the global market for indoor air
quality technologies that are currently available and being used in both new
and retrofit applications. The study provides an analysis of the market
conditions for IAQ monitoring and management and the drivers and barriers for
wider adoption of the technologies. Global market forecasts for IAQ
technologies revenue, segmented by region, building type, and technology,
extend through 2020. The report also examines the key categories of IAQ
improvements and the related technologies, as well as the competitive
landscape.
